- Heat a grill pan or large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Shake off the excess marinade and cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until nicely charred and it reaches 175°F.
- Rest the chicken for 5 minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
- Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable.
- Spread each pita with tzatziki, then top with chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, and red onion. Fold and serve with extra tzatziki on the side.
